A carbon-sulfur hybrid with pomegranate-like core-shell structure, which demonstrates high rate performance and relatively high cyclic stability, is obtained through carbonization of carbon precursor in the presence of sulfur precursor (FeS2) and a following oxidation of FeS2 to sulfur by HNO3. Such a structure effectively protects the sulfur and leaves enough buffer space after Fe3+ removal, and at the same time, it has interconnected conductive network. The capacity of the obtained hybrid achieves 450 mAh/g under the current density of 5 C. This work provides a simple strategy to design and prepare various high performance carbon-sulfur hybrids for Lithium-sulfur batteries.
